Response to follow at some point

Jan 17, 2011 20:32

Haven't written anything in a long time. Life has been crazy, and very far from good, but at least some real world necessity things are coming together. Passed my class, have a temp job, place to live, long term job interviews lined up.

I feel like I should write a response to Black Swan. So much to write about. It was amazing. And so true. Too close for comfort in some areas, but that just made me love the movie even more. I broke down several times during the movie, but it was worth it. If you haven't seen it, do so right now. Right now. I think I'll write later. I'm exhausted right now, and since I loved it so much I want to do it justice. It really hit home with me personally, as a ballerina with an inferiority complex and stress problems, and reminded me of several friends who were pushed literally to the physical breaking point by company schools. They can't dance anymore. I worried about one of them being pushed to the emotional breaking point as well. She was so competitive, and was pushed so hard by her Mom - in everything, not just ballet. Anyway, very long response may be approaching. I may go see it again so I can write when it's fresh. Once I stop sobbing again. Bringing tissues this time, ugh.

What did everyone else think of it?
